As they continued talking, more and more groups of cultivators could be seen flying towards the same direction as them, each group having at least a single Golden Core Realm cultivator with them.
It was not just Nascent Soul Realm and Tribulations Transcendence Realm powers from beyond the Qingyun Region who were invited by the Qingyun Sword Sect, but also all Void Refinement Realm factions from the State of Fengzhou and also Golden Core Realm powers in the Qingyun Region.
Juniors could broaden their horizons and also listen to Nascent Soul Realm cultivators’ preaching, benefitting greatly. This was the motive of the Qingyun Sword Sect.

Towering mountains appeared one after another, floating above the ground, and a huge gate that seemed to connect heaven and earth was standing tall in the midst of the mountains.
Immortal mist surrounded the summits of each floating mountain, making it look mysterious and mythical.
Tian Yongheng and the others stood in the sky before the huge gate.
Lu Qingfeng had a trace of excitement in his eyes while Yan Jingfei seemed calm.
On the other hand, the disciples of the Brilliant Starlight Sect did not react to the scenery in front of them at all, as if it was a daily occurrence to them.
With Tian Yongheng and Tan Xue taking the lead, all of them walker into the huge gate. As they walked in, they seemed to have passed through an isolated barrier, which was probably some kind of Array Formation of the Qingyun Sword Sect.
As soon as they entered, the scene in front of them changed drastically.
Tall buildings and majestic pagodas appeared out of thin air, and various places on all sides entered their vision.
Shops selling Dharma Artifacts, medicinal ingredients, Talismans, multiple Alchemy Rooms with all kinds of medicines, Auction Houses with various rare treasures and materials, and even libraries containing Array Formations etcetera all kinds of structures stood in rows.
Immortal Cultivators flew in and out on flying swords and normally from all directions, making it seem like an Immortal City from the legends.
This city was thousands of miles big, and hundreds of thousands of Immortal Cultivators could be seen around here. There was not a single mortal in sight.
The disciples behind except for Yan Jingfei were finally somewhat moved.
Even though they had been to various Immortal Cities before, they did not expect the Qingyun Sword Sect to have one too since mostly Immortal Cities were only under Tribulation Transcendence Realm or above factions.
At the same time, although Tian Yongheng’s expression was as indifferent as ever, he was secretly amazed inside.
Is this what a prosperous Immortal Sect is like?
They have an entire Immortal City built inside!
If a Nascent Soul Realm faction is like this, then what about those almighty major factions?
He wondered.
"Fellow daoist, this is the Qingyun City of the Qingyun Sword Sect. It was specifically built on the orders of the 3rd generation Sect Master of the Qingyun Sword Sect hundreds of thousands of years ago and is still here. It’s just like a mortal city, but for Immortal Cultivators instead."
A gentle voice sounded in Tian Yongheng’s mind ad Tan Xue slowly explained about the Qingyun City via voice transmission.
"I see. Thank you for explaining it to me, fellow daoist."
He thanked her sincerely, causing her to nod, the smile on her face never disappearing.
All the passerbys couldn’t help but take multiple glances at Tian Yongheng, making the group stand out just because of that, not to mention the many people with powerful auras and Tan Xue, who was a beauty herself.
At this moment, a few people suddenly descended from the sky and appeared in front of him and the others.
Tian Yongheng raised an eyebrow inwardly. All these people were in the Void Refinement Realm, and the weakest of them was in the Fourth Stage of Void Refinement Realm.
"Greetings to the esteemed seniors. Please follow me to visit the Sect Master and the Supreme Elder." A burly man leading them spoke respectfully as he cupped his fists and bowed, turning everyone’s attention to him.
He had long black hair and looked to be in his forties, his eyebrows were sharp and carried a subtle trace of Sword Intent in them. He wore a green robe with 6 sword shapes pointing towards each other in a circular motion embedded on its back.
"Fellow daoist, he and the people beside him are all Sword Guardians. You can tell the rank of any member of the Qingyun Sword Sect based on the number of swords on their robes.
A single sword is for In-name Disciples, two swords for Outer Disciples, three swords for Inner Disciples, 4 swords for Core Disciples, 5 swords for Personal Disciples, 6 swords for Sword Guardians, 7 swords for Peak Masters, 8 swords for the Sect Master, and at last, 9 swords for the Supreme Elder.
This Sword Guardian must be instructed by the Supreme Elder to come here and pick us up after he sensed our arrival."
Tan Xue’s voice sounded again as she explained calmly.
The reason she was doing this wasn’t because she was just nice, but also because she wanted to establish good relations with the Eternal Peak.
As Tian Yongheng was already a being with cultivation greater than hers, combined with his talents and the speed of the Eternal Peak’s development, it wouldn’t take long for the Eternal Peak to become a behemoth in the State of Fengzhou, or possibly, even the surrounding States.
With this thought in mind, she would try to help him as much as she could.
Tian Yongheng nodded slightly at her, and then followed the Sword Guardians up to the main peak.
Tian Yongheng was curious as to how many cultivators in the later stages of Void Refinement Realm did the Qingyun Sword Sect had.
This Sword Guardian leading them was at the Seventh Stage of Void Refinement Realm, higher than Tian Yongheng at the Fifth Stage of Void Refinement Realm!
As they flew high into the air towards the main peak, all the gazes in the Qingyun City fell onto them and people started guessing their identities.
"Which force are they from that Sword Guardians personally came to pick them up?"
"Despite being in the Golden Core Realm, I couldn’t sense the aura of more than half of those people. They must have a deep background, specially the two people at the lead."
"The leading Sword Guardian among those Sword Guardians was even Ou Yansen, one of the top 20 Sword Guardians of the Qingyun Sword Sect, and he called those people esteemed seniors. It seems they were not from the Qingyun Region at all."
"I’ve heard that in the Qingyun Dao Conferance, many mighty figures from beyond the Qingyun Region also participates. I guess that’s true."
...
Central Continent.
In a forest surrounded by dense Spirit Qi, trees thousands of feet tall rose into the sky, reaching towards the heavens as Immortal mist made the forest look like a sacred land.
There were many rare treasures and medicinal herbs scattered around the forest, and a river flew over that stretched so long it’s end could not be seen.
All kinds of Spirit Beasts occasionally passed through the river, such as a creature that looked like a white goat but had no face or horns, only a pair of big ears that could allow it to fly, to a small sparrow who’s body was completely formed from the Wind Element.
On the other end of the long river, a waterfall crashed down like a torrent that could swept away everything, the water mixed in with extremely dense Spirit Qi and also a trace of the Water Element.
Besides the waterfall, the breathtakingly gorgeous figure of a woman could be seen sitting on the riverside, her legs in the river being washed over by the waves. She had fair skin and a healthy complexion, seemingly in her early twenties, her brows relaxed and eyes closed as the surrounding Spirit Qi surged towards her.
"Not bad, you’ve already reached the peak of the Innate Realm before the age of 400 years. Those idiots were really blind to think that you could only achieve the Tribulation Transcendence Realm at most, underestimating you. You have the potential to reach the Immortal Ascension Realm or even the Half Immortal Realm before ascending to the Upper Realm."
A teasing voice sounded from behind and the woman instantly opened her eyes, her expression beaming with joy as she turned around to see that a young man looking to be in his late twenties was leaning against a tree and smiling mischievously.
This young man wore a black robe embroidered with patterns of golden dragons, and a black red crown on his head. He looked exceptionally handsome and heroic, his appearance carrying a trace of similarity to Tian Yongheng.
"Brother Tian Chen, it’s all because of the exalted identities of my master and your status as a top tier genius of the current generation. Otherwise, how could I be where am I today?" The woman said in a soft voice, acting coy in front of the young man called Tian Chen.
"Indeed, but its also because your Providence is not simple and the great strength of your master. I was here to inform you today that after you reach the Golden Core Realm, I’ll take you along with some more geniuses, including those of the same level as me from different factions to the Eastern Continent. The higher ups are planning something.
You’ll broaden your horizons by participating in something like this and also meet your family there." Tian Chen spoke casually.
He stopped for a moment before continuing, "What do you think of my arrangements, miss Qin Ninguang?"
